Mountain Capital Partners announced it will enter an agreement to operate and manage Nordic Valley Ski Resort in Eden, Utah, about 25 minutes from downtown Ogden.
James Coleman, managing partner of Mountain Capital Partners and owner of Purgatory Ski Area, said, “We’re excited to add Nordic Valley to our family of ski resorts and begin working with the resort staff. Nordic Valley is a fantastic ski area and is consistent with our goals as a company of making skiing affordable to everyone in order to continue growing the sport.”
Nordic Valley Ski Resort was first established in 1968. It offers beginner, intermediate and advanced terrain for skiing and snowboarding with 140 acres for skiing, 23 trails, four lifts, a terrain park, and snowmaking that covers 60 percent of terrain.
The Utah ski area receives an average of 300 inches of snow annually, and has a 965-foot vertical drop. It also features a day lodge, rental shop and ski and snowboard school.
“We are very happy to partner with Mountain Capital Partners, who will run the operations of Nordic Valley starting this month,” said Laurent Jouffray, a board member of the ownership group, Skyline Mountain Base LLC.
Nordic Valley, a family-friendly resort, is known for its ski and ride school and beginner terrain.

All the resorts are managed by Mountain Capital Partners.
In the summer, Nordic Valley offers a variety of activities, including lift-served mountain biking and hiking, an 18-hole disc golf course, a 400-foot-long slip-n-slide, bungee trampoline, Nordic Nights Saturday evening concert series and more.
